Thanks all for the input! I've pulled a small amount, brought it to boil, added my ginger, boiled over (lol but not REALLY lol), cooled and put back in the fermenter! It'll still be strong ginger flavor I'm guessing since it didn't boil all that long, but it'll still be good for a Holiday...

I'm 48 hours into fermentation now...should I try it now? I'm worried about infecting it...

So I brewed on Friday (today's Sunday) and I realized that I failed to add an ingredient, powdered Ginger, to my boil! I bought a kit for a Christmas Cheer Beer and the spices were sweet orange peel, cinnamon sticks and ginger. Well, now there's no ginger! SO...my question is this: I keg, so...

Since she's having weight loss surgery in a week and a half, she's not allowed to have carb'd beverages EVER again. So I REALLY wanted the last one to be one I made her! She's happy! I'm happy that I still have 4gals of this. Everyone wins!

So the recipe I used as a starting point to craft mine used Citra for the 60 min hop add. What if I flipped them around? Citra at 60 and Summer at 5? Also considering simplifying the hop schedule: .5oz Citra @ 60min; .5oz Summer @ 20min and again @ 5min. BeerFriend has it at 38IBUs with...

Ok so far I've changed to steep for 20 mins and WLP001 vice 090. About how long will the 001 take to complete fermentation? A week or so? Speed was the reason I had selected the 090 originally. If the 001 takes only a week, I can have it in the keg and she can have a good week to try it out...

Now that you're feeling the same distress that I am...:tank:...I greatly appreciate any comment/input/tips/guidance on this recipe that I made up today. The Mrs. is having weight loss surgery in 3.5 weeks (20 MAY) and this will be the last beer she drinks for a LONG while. So I have to do it...
